    Default Sync with two iphone libraries?

    I was wondering how I can sync my i4 with two itunes libraries?
    I know its possible but I just can't figure it out and tried searching this forum and google but all I found is info for like 2.2.1 firmware, no info for even 3.0 or above.
    I have copied all the music off of my iphone with icopybot so all the music there.

    If you are trying to sync on two PC's all you have to do is authorize ("I Tunes > Store > Authorise this Computer" )both PC's to your account.

    What?!
    Ive authorized my account on both of my PCs and if i try to sync my iphone to my other pc (the one not currently synced) it says "if you sync with this library all of your previous files will be deleted."

    You would need the same information on both PC i.e Music.

    You can right click and transfer purchase to both PC and that will take bought music and apps on to both PC.

    But if you want to scync Music you would need the same music on both PC

    okay so if i transfer and backup to both itunes, I will be fine?
    I have the same music, I took it off my phone directly.
    But it still will NOT sync, says that it is not the same library.
    They are both PCs and its main sync is to my laptop right now.

    If you transfer your purchase to iTunes and backup your phone on that PC, You will be fine. As long as you have both machines authrized for your account.

    You will be able to choose what you sync because when you have transferred your stuff you will be able to see it in iTunes.

    I am not 100% about your photo's but if you back up they should be fine too but pull them off just in case.

    And when all said and done if it goes wrong you can always restore from back up on you laptop and re sync and it will be back to where you were.

    But it will not go wrong

    Sorry, this may seem a little off topic, but it was brushed upon in this thread already and I don't want to create a new thread for this.

    How can you take music off the iPhone/iPod and put it into the iTunes library directly?

    Thanks in advance!
